DEG Inquiry 17882 confirms what steps are considered during “Disable & Enable Air Bag System.”

According to Mitchell Cloud Estimating, “the labor allowance for Disable & Enable Air Bag System includes all the steps as outlined in the procedure from the vehicle manufacturer one time.

If an additional Disable & Enable Air Bag System is required, a time should be agreed upon among all parties and recorded on the damage report.”

Additional DEG Note: Some OEM procedures may call out battery D&R procedures only, and some may require pulling the air bag fuse in addition. Always refer to OEM service information for proper disable & enable procedures.
